Second Growth Homes

Second Growth Homes, based in Alaska, specializes in the design and construction of eco-friendly cabins and small homes, particularly suited for remote locations. Founded by Sterling C Chew, the company focuses on providing accessible and robust housing solutions, with a strong emphasis on sustainable building practices. Their primary product is the "A Cabin," offered in kit form or fully constructed. The A Cabin is designed for ease of assembly, strength, and longevity, making it an ideal first structure on a remote property. The company states that a complete assembly onsite can take 3-5 days. The A-frame design allows for quick erection, with the possibility of sheeting the structure on the first day. It can also be a simple accessory dwelling unit on an existing property. Second Growth Homes targets small-scale homesteaders, employees needing housing, or those seeking remote camps and hunting lodges. Second Growth Homes uses lumber that is sustainably harvested, specifically 50-year Second Growth Timber (Sitka Spruce) from commercially clearcut stands. This lumber is both lightweight and strong. The cabins are framed with smooth-finished Sitka Spruce 3x6 beams, and the walls and roof are sheeted with 2x6 Sitka Spruce tongue and groove. The company claims this sheeting method is faster and more enjoyable than using plywood. The exposed smooth-finished spruce beams and tongue-and-groove interior create a visually appealing living space. The company offers the A Cabin in three standard sizes: 16x16, 16x20, and 16x24. The 16x20 model was originally built for Sterling C Chew's own family to use while working at their remote sawmill yard during the winter months, showing a personal investment in the product. Second Growth Homes also welcomes custom projects, offering in-house design services for those with unique requirements. Located in Tenakee Springs, Alaska, Second Growth Homes serves customers seeking housing solutions in remote environments. While the website does not explicitly mention certifications or specific markets beyond remote regions, the focus on sustainable materials and durable construction suggests a commitment to environmentally responsible building practices.
